For students:
In September 2025, we launched a five-minute video highlighting experiences of harassment and sexual misconduct. It encourages our community to use Report + Support to report concerns, access support, and find further information. Each scenario is informed by real student experiences, and students were consulted during the video’s development.

Responding Sensitively to Disclosure Training
At Queen Mary, we are dedicated to fostering a work and study environment where everyone is treated with dignity and respect. Bullying, harassment, and hate have no place in our community. We are committed to ensuring that each of our campuses is free from all forms of prejudice, discrimination, harassment, and bullying.
